Roz Wyman

Rosalind Wiener Wyman’s impact on Los Angeles is hard to overstate. “Roz” is the youngest person and the first woman ever elected to the Los Angeles City Council. A passionate Democrat and baseball fan, she played a fundamental role in bringing the Dodgers to Los Angeles and – this may surprise you – in getting the Giants to San Francisco! She eats, breathes and sleeps politics. Patt Morrison, an award-winning Los Angeles Times columnist, author and public broadcasting personality, interviewed Wyman in February 2019 at her Los Angeles home.
